Im not one to fall prey to the machinations of others. Nor is it very likely to find me down or sad for much more than a moment or so (in the grand scheme of things). It doesn't phase me when people misjudge me or give me less credit than is really due. I couldn't care less what they think or how they feel about me. That's their business. What's my business is how I feel about me.

It's been a day of challenges in this arena called life. And yet, I've either risen to them all or have let them fall away from me like so much un-needed baggage. I found myself daydreaming wistfully that I had a boss that backs me up and allowed myself that fantasy for a full minute and a half (not that I timed it, mind you). A work problem came up today and I handled it and that's all that matters. With aplomb. With care and sincerity. Pity I can't bank that, although I suppose in a weird way, somewhere down the line, I shall. By August I shall have a new job. There, I put it out there.

Taking the usual supplements, eating what I always eat. The only piece of my life that is missing is the gym. Their remodel will be done soon enough (yay!). Miss the workouts so much. By this time next week. In the meantime, I can only smile and push on.
